That’s great news!
One thing I just remembered is that the nuclear power plants (Diablo Canyon, Palo Verde) usually shut down for maintenance in the spring when demand is lowest. Otherwise they normally run 24/7 and there wouldn’t be any time during the day when it would be 100% renewables.
California exceeds 100% of energy demand with renewables over a record 30 days

Quote: “”An independent think tank producing data-driven analysis on how business and finance are impacting the climate crisis””
“”The Carbon Majors dataset has played a pivotal role in holding fossil fuel producers to account for their climate-related impacts in academic, regulatory, and legal contexts. Examples include quantifying the contribution these entities have made to global surface temperature, sea level, and atmospheric CO2 rise; and establishing corporate accountability for climate-related human rights violations.””

Wow! It just clips onto the HV cable and recharges while it’s hanging there. Presumably the drone has an inductive pickup coil that’s up against the conductor that’s carrying hundreds of amps. I bet Joe Tegtmeyer would like to have one of these!

The States need to give more incentives to get more people to buy an EV.
EVs are taking over the rest of the world much faster than the US
Dark money supported 3rd party candidates who siphoned off votes from Democrats, giving Republicans state congressional seats. This money came from Florida Power & Light. It was meant to defeat those who supported clean renewable energy.

Before 1972, when Roe v. Wade took effect, this was what happened. Women died from illegal abortions when they got sepsis AKA blood poisoning. After Roe V. Wade doctors were no longer penalized for giving necessary medical procedures. Now that Roe V. Wade was struck down, in some states they have gone back to the dark ages where women can die due to a state law. 😡
Making abortions illegal is like making smoking marijuana illegal: it doesn’t stop it from being done. It just means more women will die from illegal, unsanitary medical procedures.
If you don’t believe this, just read the articles in newspapers before 1972 and see the deaths of women who had illegal abortions.
If you truly believe in the sanctity of life, then you should support *legal* abortions.
A basic one transistor regen receiver uses an MPF102 JFET to give the regenerative gain. Also uses two transistors to amplify the audio to drive an earphone.
